Back from Hiatus

Rather shamefully, it's been a minute since I posted anything new. I've finally graduated college, been interviewing for some jobs, and as usual, producing new instrumentals and scouring the Internet for some hot, new material. In the several months since my previous post I've come across new singles and mixtapes, a few of which I'm excited to share.

First, a new joint by ATL's Donnis. Fueled by a punchy string section and various buzzy synths, Donnis' braggadocio is on point on this one.



Second, another sample of CuDi's originality featuring one of my favorites in Chip Tha Ripper. Really happy to see that despite CuDi's mainstream successes, he's maintained his true Cleveland ties...




Lastly, I gotta put in a plug for two mixtapes I've been obsessed with:

Theophilus London's I Want You Mixtape
Major Lazer and La Roux Present: Lazerproof

I had the chance to see Theo open for Miike Snow this past semester at school and although most of the crowd was unfamiliar with his electro-centric hip-hop, he had amazing stage presence in what was a supremely passionate performance. Follow the link to download the mixtape, courtesy of THE FADER. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Theophilus London I Want You Mixtape

And as for the Major Lazer-La Roux collabo, if you liked "Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do," well, you'll definitely find this mixtape as energetic and original as their album. Props to Mad Decent for hosting this craziness.



This should give y'all some early summer tuneage to bump, and I promise not to be such a ghost from now on. Enjoy.

Yours in music,

Stacks.
